Academy of Construction and Design
Student Testimonials
“The Academy tremendously impacted
my goals and career decisions. It also made me [consider]
people in need in my community, through the monthly field
trips to the D.C. Habitat for Humanity [site] where we helped
build affordable houses for low income families.”
— Ivan Ango, Class of 2010
“The things I learned at the Academy made me a better,
stronger and wiser young woman, and I would not have been
able to learn them anywhere else. Knowledge is a powerful
thing in life that can make you become a better person.”
— Marie Ngo Mbock, Class of
2009 and Dreyfuss Scholarship winner
“Getting into the Academy was one of the most meaningful
choices I have ever made. I learned many skills, had hands-on
training and learned how to transform what I learned in class
to serve others…”
— Freddy Possian, Class of 2009
and Dreyfuss Scholarship winner
“The Academy has made me confident that furthering my
education is one of the best options I should take. I know
that [what] matters is not how long I take to achieve my goals,
but the fact that they should be achieved.”
— Flavio Fru Somanji, Class
of 2010
“In learning about the construction and design field,
I already knew the definition of an architect. During my summer
internship, I learned the process for building houses. This
work experience led to my decision to become a residential
architect. I am really thankful for the opportunity to work
on a job site.”
— Joshua Atkins, Class of 2010
